A live animal trap with improvements to ease of use, reliability and cost is disclosed. A simple repeatable one-hand set action unlocks both a primary and a secondary lock and lifts a front entry door. A hold-close assembly trips to secure the front door without sliding motions. A low friction latch and trip links thereto provide consistent set action resistant to shaking and undesired trip. A changeable torque arm and preload provides adjustable trip force. A trip tray is spaced above a floor to require a small set-up motion to access the bait and further ensure trip.

A crab pot including a top, a bottom, and at least one side wall disposed between the top and the bottom, the top, bottom, and the at least one side wall being supported by a frame and enclosing an interior space. The crab pot further includes at least one entrance tunnel in the at least one side wall to permit entry of an animal into the interior space, the at least one entrance tunnel including a first end adjacent the at least one side wall and a second end opposite the first end, the second end disposed within the interior space. The crab pot also includes a trigger including at least one rod pivotably mounted at the second end of the at least one entrance tunnel.

A collapsible swim-through trap having a cage body, a position lock mechanism, a release mechanism, and two setting hooks, the cage body having a front opening, a rear opening, and four walls extending between those openings. Each of the openings is equipped with a door which opens inwardly. There is a position lock mechanism used to secure the trap in an upright position which may be disengaged when a user wants to collapse the trap. The release mechanism includes a trigger, and an interfaced door retaining bar for holding the two doors in an open position. Upon pushing the trigger, the door retaining bar will rotate and release the two doors, trapping whatever is inside the cage body within the trap. The two setting hooks are used to hold the doors back while the door retaining bar is rotated into position.

A animal device to capture live animals may include a top wall; a bottom wall opposed to the top wall; a pair of opposing side walls to connect the top wall and the bottom wall; a removable back wall to connect to the top wall, the bottom wall and the side walls; an inclined wall connected to the top wall having a first magnetic portion; and a pivoting platform being pivotably mounted on the opposing side walls having a second magnetic portion.

A product and a device for controlling pests is particularly suited for controlling rodents, such as mice. The product contains, or consists of, one or more active agents from the group of grayanotoxins in an effective amount.

A method and a system provide an animal trap that records digital images of animals with a camera, convolves the digital image with a kernel to create convolved feature maps that are used as input to a classifier algorithm, producing classification confidence scores that identify the animals. An algorithm categorizes the classified animal and selects an action based on the categorization. The trap has actions to deter the benign or beneficial animals and actions to detain or kill the pest animals. With this method and system, the trap is able to target pest animals with minimal harm to benign or beneficial animals.
